I just picked up 2 ton of this Centralia Rice coal at the Fall River, MA location. (It is the same ownership, but is called Eastern Ice, Co., if you call the 800 no. on the receipt, it connects you to the Brockton store. Very nice people to deal with.
Note: Fall River stores the bags in their freezers. Our 1st (frozen) ton came from there, and left a lot of water in the basement. My husband called the 800 no. a week later, expecting the FR office. He wanted them to take a pallet out of the freezer to thaw. It was the Brockton office that answered. After explaining why he was calling, Brockton said they don't store theirs in the freezers, and they would send down a pallet to the FR store that we could p/u the following morning.
Very good service.
